2. Analysis of Zhu Ziqing's "Summer in Yangzhou"

Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yangzhou has been a place praised by poets and scribes; He also echoed the voice.

Until now, if you mention the name Yangzhou to someone, he or she will nod or shake his head and say, "Good place! Good place!" Especially those who have never been to Yangzhou but have read Tang poetry, in his mind , Yangzhou is really as beautiful as mirage and sea city; if he had read books like "Yangzhou Painted Boat Record", it would be even more amazing. But for a person like me who has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, he does not have so many beautiful fantasies. His hatred may cover up his hobbies; he may leave for three or four years and not think about it.

If so, what do you think he wants? Women; yes, this seems to be famous, but I’m afraid it’s not the current woman, right? --He can only think about the summer in Yangzhou, although it still has something to do with women. One big difference between the north and the south, in my opinion, is that there is no water in the north but there is in the south.

It is true that there has been heavy rain in the north this year, and the Yongding River and Daqing River have even burst their embankments. , the boat is so clumsy. The water is still in the south.

Most of the benefits of summer in Yangzhou are on the water - some people call it "Slender West Lake". To be honest, I don't like it.

The place where we disembark is the moat, which spreads out and twists and turns until it reaches Pingshan Hall - this is the name you are familiar with - with a river course of seven or eight miles and many treacherous tributaries.

In fact, this river does not have great benefits. It is just winding and somewhat quiet, unlike other places. The most famous scenery along the river is Xiaojin Mountain, Fahai Temple, and Wuting Bridge; the farthest one is Pingshan Hall.

You all know Jinshan Mountain, but Xiaojinshan Mountain is in the middle of the water. It's best to look at the water there, and it's also good to look at the moon - but I've never been so lucky.

Nine out of ten people who "go down to the river" come here, so there are inevitably too many people. There is a pagoda in Fahai Temple, which is the same as the one in Beihai. It is said that it was built when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River and the salt merchants supervised the craftsmen overnight.

The famous thing about Fahai Temple is naturally this pagoda; but there is another thing that you can’t guess, it is the braised pig head. Eating braised pig head in summer may not be ideal in theory; but in practice, it's not bad to eat it while sweating.

As the name suggests, Wuting Bridge is a bridge with five pavilions. The bridge is arched, with one pavilion in the middle being the highest, and four pavilions on both sides, which are symmetrical. It is best to look at it from a distance, or to see shadows.

There are not many bridges, so taking a boat to cross them has a different flavor. Pingshan Hall is on Shugang.

When you ascend the hall, you can see the faint outlines of the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River; the sentence "the mountains are beautiful or not" seems to me to be just right and not wrong. There are fewer tourists here, so you can spend a long time sitting on the mountain.

The scenery along the road is also overwhelmingly peaceful. When you disembark from Tianning Gate or North Gate, you will see the winding city walls reflecting dark shadows in the water. The boat will pass by leisurely, and there will be no noise on the shore.

There are three types of boats: large boats are specially used for banquets, prostitutes or playing cards. When I was a child, I often went with my father and listened to the records of profit-making foreign companies in the boat.

There are probably fewer people taking boats like this now, right? Next is the "small boat", which is really like a watermelon, supported by a man or woman with a bamboo pole. If there are many passengers, you can hire two and use small stools to stand on the front and back: this can also be regarded as an "ark".

Later there was a kind of "foreign boat", which was smaller than a big boat and larger than a "small boat". It had a cloth awning on it to protect it from the sun and rain. There are gradually more "foreign boats" and fewer big boats, but there are always people who want "small boats".

This is not only because of the cheapest price, but also because of its intelligence. A person sitting in the middle of the boat, with another person on the stern holding it up with a bamboo pole, can write a Tang poem or a landscape painting.

And some good-hearted young people are willing to punt their own boats, so they must be "small canoeists". Although the "small boat" is cheap, there are some differences.

For example, as you can imagine, it is always more expensive for a woman to punt a boat; it is naturally even more expensive for a girl to punt. These women who punt the boats are what some people call the "boat girls on Slender West Lake."

There are probably many stories about boat girls, but I don’t know much about them. It is said that a person with a disheveled head, rough clothes, and a natural sense of humor is the winner; a middle-aged man with a sense of humor is still considered good.

But at first it was just a show, and it might not hurt Lian Hui; but later on, when there was a price, the meaning became dull. The area outside the north gate is called Xiajie and has the most "teahouses", often facing the river on one side.

While the boat is passing by, tea patrons and passengers can greet and talk to each other casually. If people on the boat are happy, they can also ask for a pot of tea or one or two kinds of "small steamed snacks" from the teahouse, and drink, eat and talk in the river.

When you come back, you will give the teapot and the so-called small cage to the teahouse owner together with the price. The people who punt the boats are all familiar with the teahouse, and they are not afraid that you will eat for nothing.

The Xiaolong dim sum in Yangzhou is really good: I left Yangzhou and visited seven or eight places, large and small, but I have never had such good dim sum; this is actually worth remembering. The teahouse is generally a good place, and the name is quite good.

Rude Picture Gallery, Green Poplar Trees, and Red Leaf Villa are all things I still remember today. The guise of Green Poplar Village is hung on the green poplar tree and flutters in the wind, making people still remember it.

The famous saying "The green poplar city is Yangzhou". There are also small pools, bamboo clusters and thatched pavilions inside, and the scenery is the most secluded.

The teahouses in this area are all well-organized and very different from the square teahouses in Shanghai and the square ones in the north. "Down to the river" is always in the afternoon.

I came back in the evening, went ashore in the hazy dusk, folded my coat and put it on my wrist, shaking my fan slightly with one hand; I entered the North Gate or Tianning Gate and walked home. At this time, you can recite "Another half day's leisure in floating life."

Four uses " "Tang poetry" and "landscape painting" are used to describe the scene at that time, vividly describing the beauty of the environment.

6. Yangzhou's good ancient poetry

Zhu Ziqing has a prose titled "Looking at Flowers" , wrote about how people in Yangzhou grow, buy and enjoy flowers. The first section of the article reads: Growing up in a city on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the gardens there are famous... Some people who love flowers, most of them Just plant the flowers in pots and place the pots on stands; the stands are placed across the yard.

The yard is usually small, with only enough room for a shelf; there can be at most twenty pots of flowers on the shelf.

Sometimes a "flower terrace" is built against the wall in the yard, and a flowering tree is planted on the terrace. Sometimes it is planted on the ground in the yard.

But this is just an ordinary embellishment, not a love flower. Mr. Zhu Ziqing is from Yangzhou, and he knows the living customs of his hometown very well.

In the small residential courtyards of Yangzhou people, as Mr. Zhu described, they often build a flower stand and raise dozens of pots of flowers and trees. It should be said that there must be an owner who loves flowers in this yard, but Mr. Zhu said: "This is just an ordinary decoration, not a love of flowers."

What does it look like in Yangzhou that really loves flowers? The person who really loves flowers is probably Mr. Jingzhai who lives "two miles east of Guangling City" in Zheng Banqiao's "Mei Zhuang Ji". This Mr. Jingzhai is addicted to plums. Cultivate them; support those who lie down; make up for those who are lacking; cut those that are velvety." Not only that, this plum fan also "wandered under it when the frost was cold, the moon was cold, and the soul was frozen and the soul was frozen, and he often urged me on the missing points. He couldn't bear to lie down, thinking about the coldness of the plum blossoms, which is also the same as the cold. "And when the wind blew and the rain filled the air, and the lightning thundered, he stood up in his clothes, turned on the light, and patrolled around to see if the plum blossoms were safe. That's it."

Mr. Jingzhai, who likes plums and loves plums, already regards plums as friends and loves plums as sons. They depend on each other and are inseparable. This may be what Mr. Zhu has in mind. Flower lover. Of course, the Mr. Jingzhai described by Zheng Banqiao is still a minority after all, but Yangzhou people regard raising flowers and trees as a joyful act, and nine out of ten, almost every family does so.

As early as the Yuanjia period of Emperor Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xu Zhanzhi served as the governor of Southern Yanzhou in Guangling. He planted a wide range of flowers and trees in the gardens he built, resulting in a scene of "prosperous fruits and bamboos and rows of flowers and trees". By the Tang Dynasty, in the writings of the poet Yao He, Yangzhou was already "mostly filled with gardens and houses." In the gardened houses, the people of Yangzhou at that time must have been surrounded by lush flowers and trees.

In the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of Yangzhou made Yangzhou people pay more attention to the living environment and quality of life. Planting flowers and trees became an important part of the layout of residential buildings. "Bamboo and geese are raised everywhere" has become a life interest advocated and pursued by Yangzhou people at that time. In the old days, all the big families in Yangzhou had gardens, and the smaller ones also had flower houses.

These gardens and greenhouses are full of flowers and trees all year round. According to Li Dou's "Yangzhou Huafang Lu", at that time, there were gardens in Meihualing, Banghua Village, Baocheng, Maoshan and Leitang in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, with household plantings and continuous shade.

The second volume of the book says: All the pavilions on the lake have gardens, which are places for growing flowers. ... People who grow flowers are called gardeners, and they raise bonsai, short pines, dwarf aspens, firs, cypresses, plums and willows.

Pittosporum boxwood and tiger thorn are the smallest. The most beautiful flowers are roses and chrysanthemums.

Dry peonies and peonies in the greenhouse in winter. To prepare the garden pavilion for the first month of the year.

Li Dou’s narration is relatively concise and concise. In fact, gardeners in the old gardens would pot up carefully cultivated flowers of the four seasons every morning and send them to the living room, study room and flower racks in the courtyard of the owner's house in the city, making the inside and outside of the owner's house a harmonious place. Flowers are always in bloom and fragrant all year round.

The owner of Fuchun Teahouse, a famous teahouse in Yangzhou, has a garden on Yanfu Road. The four-season flowers from Fuchun Garden are delivered to the owner's residence in Deshengqiao on time every morning by the gardener. His residence was also called Fuchun Flower Bureau, and today's Fuchun Tea House was developed on the basis of Fuchun Flower Bureau. Mud pots are often used when planting potted flowers. Mud pots are water-permeable and are conducive to the growth of flowers and trees, but they are not very elegant when used for indoor display.

Therefore, many people in Yangzhou have good porcelain pots and purple clay pots, which are specially used to set mud pots. Those porcelain basins have blue and white flowers, pastels, and purple sand basins have black clay, red robes, and so on.

There are particularities in choosing which flowers to match with the pots, and the gardener will match them appropriately according to the owner’s preferences. For example, orchids are paired with red robes to bring out the dense orchid leaves as green as clouds; crabapples are paired with celadon to create a contrasting effect. The bright red petals are bright but not demonic. Yangzhou people often have tables for placing flowers in their living rooms and study rooms. These special tables are called "flower tables". The flower tables are mostly made of mahogany and red sandalwood, and are themselves exquisite handicrafts.

The flower table can be high or low. The high one can reach the shoulders, and the low one can only reach the knees. There is also a lower one, which is placed on the desk and coffee table, and that is the "tori".

Flowers, flower pots, and flower tables complement each other, showing the owner’s taste and elegance. Of course, if a gardener delivers flowers to your door, it is no longer an ordinary home.

But ordinary people also have their own unique enjoyment of flower viewing. If conditions permit, a flower stand and a short wall will be built in the patio. Small tiles and bricks will also be used to create geometric shapes of circles, arcs, squares or angles, similar to the flower windows of wealthy families.

If there is no place to build a platform, someone will set up a flower stand under the window. The flower stand is shaped like a ladder, with flower pots placed in layers. It does not occupy a large area, but it is well-proportioned and quite ingenious. There is not much soil on the flower bed, but it is very fertile.

There are not many flowers and trees planted, and they are not too expensive. Common ones include begonia, hosta, canopy red, impatiens, heavenly bamboo, chrysanthemum, wintersweet, etc., but under the care of the owner, Below, these four-season flowers and trees live up to the care and attention of their owners. They are even more lush and sparse than those famous flowers and plants. In fact, flower viewing is more fun for ordinary people than for wealthy people.

Flowers in wealthy families are cultivated and cultivated by gardeners. Flower-viewers are completely unaware of the prosperity and decline of flowers and trees, and the changes of the four seasons. Ordinary people do it by themselves. Although there is dirt and pruning involved, the appreciation after the work is more cordial and pleasing to the eye.

Yangzhou people like to enjoy flowers in their courtyards, and even more so in the countryside. Yangzhou people have always had the custom of enjoying flowers in the suburbs. Volume 11 of "Records of Yangzhou Painted Boats" states: "There are markets and parties for painting boats. In spring, there are two markets of plum blossoms and peach blossoms; in summer, there are three markets of peony, peony and lotus; in autumn, there are two markets of osmanthus and hibiscus."

In fact, there is a chrysanthemum market in autumn and a wintersweet market in winter. Li Dou probably forgot about it. When Yangzhou people go to the countryside to enjoy flowers, there are two kinds of flowers that attract the most attention, namely peony and viburnum.

Peony and Qionghua have been famous as early as the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu.

7. Appreciation of Zhu Ziqing's prose "Summer in Yangzhou"

Appreciation of "Summer in Yangzhou": Zhu Ziqing seems to have been bound to "water" throughout his life, wandering around.

Studying, working, traveling all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, traveling between the north and the south. The only periods of slight stability were the ten years when I was a teenager in Yangzhou and the ten years when I settled in Beijing after turning 30 (during which I traveled to Europe for a year).

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out at the age of 40, he hurried south from Peiping and traveled all over the southern cities. He returned to Beijing at the age of forty-nine, and only two years after settling down, he unfortunately fell ill and died.

This is probably one of the reasons why he loves to read and write travel notes, and there are so many travel notes, right? Therefore, it seems that his travel notes can also be regarded as a book of worries in that turbulent era. However, the wandering footsteps on the water form a tranquil and beautiful poem, which expresses the sorrow, sighs and sorrow of the world, just like the bottom of the iceberg submerged in the sea, revealing the graceful ice peaks looming in the sunshine and water vapor.

Perhaps this is the aesthetics of the drifter? "Summer in Yangzhou" is a travelogue in terms of genre and writing style. However, I think what makes it different from other travel notes is that the Yangzhou the author writes about is actually his second hometown where he has lived for more than ten years.

He had never lived in one place for such a long time in his life. Therefore, writing about Yangzhou is not as "exotic" as writing about other places, such as the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, the ancient Roman city in Europe, or London bookstores.

I would rather regard this "travel note" as a lyrical text similar to "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" and "Back View", because it is an expression of the nostalgia he had when he lived in Peking. "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" has a vague escapist sentiment, in which one quietly enjoys the beauty of the peaceful and tacit understanding between oneself and nature when one is alone; "Back View" is probably more derived from the unforgettable memory of one's father when one is alone.

These are all written with great effort. The same is true for "Summer in Yangzhou".

Moreover, in my opinion, this simple essay can be regarded as an aesthetic symbol of Zhu Ziqing’s wandering mentality throughout his life. The author's rational spirit and aesthetic outlook are revealed from the very beginning of the work, which is also his consistent attitude towards observing and feeling life.

He criticized ordinary people for following behind poets and scribes, praising Yangzhou that they had never experienced personally, and building a mirage about Yangzhou by relying only on "ear food". Although he loved the beautiful water in Yangzhou, he criticized the name "Slender West Lake" as "a fake name for the West Lake" and "so elegant and vulgar".

We read his book review for Sun Fuxi's "Picking in the Mountains and Wilderness", and highly praised the book as "all the benefits are only the author's own discoveries"; in the article "Nanjing" he also emphasized that only " After a lot of consideration on your own part, you can stop singing other people's old tunes and write fresh and unique feelings. When "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" writes about the beauty of solitude, it says, "Under this vast moonlight, a person can think about anything and think about nothing, and he feels like a free person.

During the day there must be If you have to say something, you can ignore it now. "This is where Zhu Ziqing "self-purifies".

This is probably the beauty of his prose. Whether it is travel notes or anything else, he always strives to "rely on everything", be unique and thoughtful, and experience and considerate with his own heart.

What is rare is this kind of leisurely mind and spiritual freedom that breaks away from the shackles of daily life. "Summer in Yangzhou" is the practice of his rational spirit and aesthetics.

He started by saying that because he has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, he does not have as many beautiful illusions about Yangzhou as most people do. Even "his hatred may have concealed his hobbies."

When describing the only summer scenery in Yangzhou that he missed, he seemed to be a bit straightforward: he just led the readers along the winding road. Take a casual tour of the moat and introduce the features of each famous scenic spot one by one. Then I spent more ink writing about "ship" and the "teahouse" outside the north gate.

But if you taste it carefully, you will find that this plainness contains Zhu Ziqing’s unique aesthetic taste. What’s more, his narrative is full of cleverness and cleverness! He said that most of the benefits of summer in Yangzhou were the "water", which triggered discussions about the differences between the north and the south. Among the praise and criticism, one could vaguely feel the depth of his homesickness.

The following words all fall directly or indirectly on "water": taking a boat trip through the winding waterways of the south of the Yangtze River; Xiaojin Mountain, Fahai Temple, Wuting The bridge and Pingshan Hall are all vivid and picturesque because of the aura of the clear water; talking about the types of boats and the "boat girls on Slender West Lake" are to set off the unique water interest of Yangzhou. You see, in his eyes, "A person sitting in the middle of a boat and having another person stand on the stern and hold it up with a bamboo pole is like a Tang poem or a landscape painting."

As for the fun of teahouses, it also comes from "water". Because the teahouse faces the river, it not only facilitates casual communication between tea drinkers and passengers, but also people on the boat can ask for a pot of tea or one or two kinds of "small steamed snacks" from the teahouse when they are interested, and enjoy them leisurely in the river. The cruise ship is simply flowing. of teahouse.

Although the color and light of Yangzhou’s lake are not deliberately described, what overflows from the bottom of the pen is the emotional beauty of Yangzhou’s water. This is the author's unique feeling about the summer in Yangzhou, which is the Yangzhou full of elegance and interest in Zhu Ziqing's eyes.

After reading the few words at the end of the article, "I have to live my free life again," which are sincerely nostalgic for the joyful leisure time in life, who can say that his "hatred" of Yangzhou overshadowed his hobbies? ! The writing in this work is concise and the narrative is soothing and comfortable. It can be seen that the author did not focus on describing the emotional ups and downs when facing the Qinhuai night singing prostitutes as he did in his earlier "Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights". He only briefly described the "Boat Girl on Slender West Lake" that he was interested in. Outlined with pen, there is no longer the subtle moral conflict in my heart when I traveled to Qinhuai; it is not like the later travel notes that deliberately concealed the "I" and meticulously described the objective objects with meticulous brushwork (such as "Rome" and other chapters), but in the leisurely and relaxed way. , the free and natural style of writing implicitly expresses one's own emotions.

What is related to this increasingly sophisticated lyrical style is the plainness and smoothness of the language of the works. The crisp and crisp literati vernacular of the early prose has been "washed away without decoration", such as Water hibiscus, pure and natural. In Zhu Ziqing's prose, "Summer in Yangzhou" is neither a "prince" enough to pass on the throne, nor a "young daughter" who is not favored.

When included in the 1936 edition of "You and Me", the author's preface only said that "the most favorite text" was "On Nothing to Say", and also mentioned the writing background of most of the chapters, but Not a word about it. Indeed, if it comes to writing.

8. Yangzhou's Good Ancient Poems

Zhu Ziqing has an essay titled "Looking at Flowers", which writes about how people in Yangzhou grow, buy and enjoy flowers. The first part of the article He wrote: He grew up in a city on the north bank of the Yangtze River, where the gardens are famous... Some people who love flowers mostly just plant them in pots, and put the pots on stands; the stands are placed horizontally. yard.

The yard is small as usual, with only enough room for a shelf; at most, there can be more than 20 pots of flowers on the shelf. Sometimes a "flower terrace" is built against the wall in the yard, and a flowering tree is planted on the terrace. Sometimes it is planted on the ground in the yard.

But this is just an ordinary embellishment, not a love flower. Mr. Zhu Ziqing is from Yangzhou, and he knows the living customs of his hometown very well.

In the small residential courtyards of Yangzhou people, as Mr. Zhu described, they often build a flower stand and raise dozens of pots of flowers and trees. It should be said that there must be an owner who loves flowers in this yard, but Mr. Zhu said: "This is just an ordinary decoration, not a love of flowers."

What does it look like in Yangzhou that really loves flowers? The person who really loves flowers is probably Mr. Jingzhai who lives "two miles east of Guangling City" in Zheng Banqiao's "Mei Zhuang Ji". This Mr. Jingzhai is addicted to plums. Cultivate them; support those who lie down; make up for those who are lacking; cut those that are velvety." Not only that, this plum fan also "wandered under it when the frost was cold, the moon was cold, and the soul was frozen and the soul was frozen, and he often urged me on the missing points. He couldn't bear to lie down, thinking about the coldness of the plum blossoms, which is also the same as the cold. "And when the wind blew and the rain filled the air, and the lightning thundered, he stood up in his clothes, turned on the light, and patrolled around to see if the plum blossoms were safe. That's it."

Mr. Jingzhai, who likes plums and loves plums, already regards plums as friends and loves plums as sons. They are dependent on each other and are inseparable. This may be what Mr. Zhu has in mind. Flower lover. Of course, the Mr. Jingzhai described by Zheng Banqiao is still a minority after all, but Yangzhou people regard raising flowers and trees as a pleasant act, and nine out of ten, almost every family does so.

As early as the Yuanjia period of Emperor Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xu Zhanzhi served as the governor of Southern Yanzhou in Guangling. He planted a wide range of flowers and trees in the garden, creating a scene of "prosperous fruits and bamboos and rows of flowers and trees". By the Tang Dynasty, in the writings of the poet Yao He, Yangzhou was already "mostly filled with gardens and houses." In the gardened houses, the people of Yangzhou at that time must have been surrounded by lush flowers and trees.

In the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of Yangzhou made Yangzhou people pay more attention to the living environment and taste of life. Planting flowers and trees became an important part of the layout of residential buildings. "Bamboo and geese are raised everywhere" has become a life interest advocated and pursued by Yangzhou people at that time. In the old days, all the big families in Yangzhou had gardens, and the smaller ones also had flower houses.

These gardens and greenhouses are full of flowers and trees all year round. According to Li Dou's "Yangzhou Huafang Lu", at that time, there were gardens in Meihualing, Banghua Village, Baocheng, Maoshan and Leitang in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, with household plantings and continuous shade.

The second volume of the book says: All the pavilions on the lake have gardens, which are places for growing flowers. ... People who grow flowers are called gardeners, and they raise bonsai, short pines, dwarf aspens, firs, cypresses, plums and willows.

Pittosporum boxwood and tiger thorn are the smallest. The most beautiful flowers are roses and chrysanthemums.

Dry peonies and peonies in the greenhouse in winter. To prepare the garden pavilion for the first month of the year.

Li Dou’s narration is relatively concise and concise. In fact, gardeners in the old gardens would pot up the flowers of the four seasons that were carefully cultivated every morning and send them to the living room, study room and flower racks in the courtyard of the owner's house in the city, making the inside and outside of the owner's house a beautiful place. Flowers are always in bloom and fragrant all year round.

The owner of Fuchun Teahouse, a famous teahouse in Yangzhou, has a garden on Yanfu Road. The four-season flowers from Fuchun Garden are delivered to the owner's residence in Deshengqiao on time every morning by the gardener. His residence was also called Fuchun Flower Bureau, and today's Fuchun Tea House was developed on the basis of Fuchun Flower Bureau. Mud pots are often used when planting potted flowers. Mud pots are water-permeable and are conducive to the growth of flowers and trees, but they are not very elegant when used for indoor display.

Therefore, many people in Yangzhou have good porcelain pots and purple clay pots, which are specially used to set mud pots. Those porcelain basins have blue and white flowers, pastels, and purple sand basins have black clay, red robes, and so on.

There are particularities in choosing which flowers to match with the pots, and the gardener will match them appropriately according to the owner’s preferences. For example, orchids are paired with red robes to bring out the dense orchid leaves as green as clouds; crabapples are paired with celadon to create a contrasting effect. The bright red petals are bright but not demonic. Yangzhou people often have tables for placing flowers in their living rooms and study rooms. These special tables are called "flower tables". The flower tables are mostly made of mahogany and red sandalwood, and are themselves exquisite handicrafts.

The flower table can be high or low. The high one can reach the shoulders, and the low one can only reach the knees. There is also a lower one, which is placed on the desk and coffee table, and that is the "tori".

Flowers, flower pots, and flower tables complement each other, showing the owner’s taste and elegance. Of course, if a gardener delivers flowers to your door, it is no longer an ordinary home.

But ordinary people also have their own unique enjoyment of flower viewing. If conditions permit, a flower stand and a short wall will be built in the patio. Small tiles and bricks will also be used to create geometric shapes of circles, arcs, squares or angles, similar to the flower windows of wealthy families.

If there is no place to build a platform, someone will set up a flower stand under the window. The flower stand is shaped like a ladder, with flower pots placed in layers. It does not occupy a large area, but it is well-proportioned and quite ingenious. There is not much soil on the flower bed, but it is very fertile.

There are not many flowers and trees planted, and they are not too expensive. Common ones include begonia, hosta, canopy red, impatiens, heavenly bamboo, chrysanthemum, wintersweet, etc., but under the care of the owner, Below, these four-season flowers and trees live up to their owners' care, and are even more lush and sparse than those famous flowers and plants. In fact, flower viewing is more fun for ordinary people than for wealthy people.

Flowers in wealthy families are cultivated and cultivated by gardeners. Flower-viewers are completely unaware of the prosperity and decline of flowers and trees, and the changes of the four seasons. Ordinary people do it themselves. Although there is dirt and pruning involved, the appreciation after the work is more cordial and pleasing to the eye.

Yangzhou people like to enjoy flowers in the courtyard of their homes, and even more like to enjoy flowers in the countryside. Yangzhou people have always had the custom of enjoying flowers in the suburbs. Volume 11 of "Records of Yangzhou Painted Boats" states: "There are markets and parties for painting boats. In spring, there are two markets of plum blossoms and peach blossoms; in summer, there are three markets of peony, peony and lotus; in autumn, there are two markets of osmanthus and hibiscus."

In fact, there is a chrysanthemum market in autumn and a wintersweet market in winter. Li Dou probably forgot about it. When Yangzhou people go to the countryside to enjoy flowers, there are two kinds of flowers that attract the most attention, namely peony and viburnum.

Peony and Qionghua have been famous as early as the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu.
